The truth about erasures in Nursing Board Exams

You may have a friend that fails in the board and was ridiculing the number of erasures he/she may have. Then that is a fallacy. I myself have made erasures and yet I did pass the said boards. 

I am talking about the Nursing boards in the Philippines. Most of the nurses do have no erasures when they took the exam as they are under that impression that they could fail if they will have such erasure. They treat it as a mortal sin as if they could die if they have made that. When I took the boards last June 2009, I am also convicted of the same impression but my conscience did not let me push with it. The truth about the boards is the answers that you throw in each and every question. 

One kind of excuse that I usually believed on was following the instruction. Of course, if they have checked your papers (using the electronic machine) and they have found it wasn't following the right instruction then exemption to the rule will also follow thereby resulting to failure in the boards. Most of the exams nowadays are on the internet and seldom that it come to have it hand written, maybe in the near future they will also do paperless thing and will make it an E-Exam or electronic exam, the government is just chilling their battlelords so they can plan such thing. And also affected by the budget, that is why they prefer this hand written exam. 

I did make an erasure which is two. Yes! seriously, two erasures I have made. The first one was with the CHN part as I have felt sleepy that time because of what I ate, then the second one falls on CHN as well. I really cannot resist letting the numbers kicked out because of such carelessness. I was really guilty at that time, but I have preceded what it takes to be and made the unforgivable crime. For me, my intention was just to correct my mistake and that's it, I still passed the boards. If you want a proof do search in Google and type in my full name-Gepril Caballero Gloria, then you shall see the results page with the names who passed the exam on June 2009. 

Amazing is it? No, its just the determination that you put in every job. Never believe that one thing can't be done. There is always a solution to such one. 

Tip: I have made my erasure in the front of the paper as well as on the back, as it will still preserve the integrity of the paper. Nurses! you know what I mean! 

Naruto- Where do we stand?

I have conducted a personal research on how this anime Naruto has captured the hearts of the public. Naruto which was released on 1997 and still running until today is really a famous anime not just for adults like me but to young aged as well. The story is just really fascinating and though it has a typical plot to the other anime in which the protagonist is a simple individual who struggles to have great power, but it is really great compared to others as the story will keep you alive again and again.

The kind of story plotted here is really amazing as it highlights the different dramas in life. There are adventures and mishaps, happiness, drama, scary scenes, and most of all the lessons which deeply implanted to the hearts of the characters. There are already lots of anime sold and had got its fame and truly the Japanese Manga industry shook the world by its creativeness. Also, the sense of humor in each scenes are memorable with lessons attached to it. The following graph is a screenshot from google trend (google.com/trends) where you can find the most number of searches for keyword. I typed in Naruto and it gave me the results.

Based on Google Trend

This clearly shows that the trend increased and reached its peak on 2010, with the top countries searchers:

1. Indonesia

2. Philippines

3. Peru

The letters on each graphic line represents the category of the search either PS update, Manga update, or anything that falls on the search description. The conclusion is Naruto is ruling the Asia with the no. 1 spot from Indonesia and secondly Philippines, with the third slot from South America (Peru). But noticed that Japan (which is the place of origination) doesn't have any place to specify. I did not mention the top 10 since I will only focus on the 3 largest number of search. Even in the top 10 slot you cannot see Japan there. 

So, with the statistics that we have it also reveals one thing- "the place where it began would stay humble as what it is".

No wonder now, Naruto is ruling the anime world. But of course other anime will arise and will have its fame. Most important thing is this anime was once captured the world. Truly an excellent job from our Japanese brothers.
